Bio: Sgt. Francis Nichols

Sgt. Nichols was baptized on May 25, 1575 in the tiny village of Sedgeberrow in Worcestershire, England. His parents were John and Joan Nycholls. He married Frances Wimarke in the same town in 1599/1600. He came to the colonies in 1635/6 and was one of the first settlers of Stratford, Connecticut. In fact, the first mention of anyone every being in Stratford was a Connecticut General Court order to assigne Sergeant Nicholls for the present to trayne the men and exercise them in military discipline. Histories of Stratford have suggested he went to London and belonged to the famous regiment of the Royal Horse Guards of Charles I, but no evidence whatsoever has been found to support that claim. He was probably a widower when he came to America with his three sons and a daughter. Sgt. Nichols also owned land in Southold, Long Island, New York, where he married in 1645 Anne Wines, daughter of Deacon Barnabas Wines. Francis Nichols died in 1650 and his personal property inventory was recorded in Stratford in 1655. It was suggested by some in publications of the late part of the 19th and early part of 20th century that he was the son of Francis Nicolls and Margaret Bruce. This has since been disproven.

Sergeant Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut,
Son of John, Not Son of Francis.

In 1909, Walter Nichols wrote Sergeant Francis Nicholls of Stratford, Connecticut, 1639 and the Descendants of his Son, Caleb Nicholls. In this work he states that Francis was the brother of Deputy Governor Richard Nicholls and therefore the son of Francis and Margaret (Bruce) Nichols. In 1932, Donald L Jacobus, [TAG 9:9] criticized the Walter Nichols pedigree, stating among other arguments that Richard, himself said that his brother Francis died in Europe, which we know is not true of the Stratford Francis. In 1993, Barbara Nichols wrote "Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut was not a brother of Deputy Governor Richard Nicolls of New York." [TAG 68:113]. She examined original documents proving that Francis of Stratford was not the son of Francis and Margaret (Bruce) Nichols. In 2000, Neil D. Thompson reveals the true pedigree of Francis of Stratford in "The English Origin of Sergeant Francis Nichols of Stratford, Connecticut." [TAG 75:267] used as sourcing here.
